Officially.

Update: Microsoft tells CNET, "We are looking into the details of this situation. We apologize and are in the process of pulling down the [Polish] image."

Update 2: And... it's down. The un-shopped image is now up on the Polish site, although whatever harried graphics monkey that got the call to fix it didn't do so well lining up the text box. At least that's one mistake that won't get you fired though, right?

Racist!!!
You must be kidding....right???
Had they been racist, they wouldn't have hired the black guy for the advertisement in the very first place.
In my opinion it's just a marketing strategy.

One can remark that since there is only one lady and TWO males in this ad so Microsoft is anti-Woman. Will that be rational?

Here is a fact....

"Rado watches hires only famous people for its brand ambassdor."

Now if anyone deduces that Rado is against common people, he(she) should get his head examined.
